The UNITED KINGDOM has arrived!

Readers and Gentleman, please welcome the United Kingdom to the viewership of this positivity blog. Hopefully they can regain some of that mojo lost in the Revolutionary War.

From dub master Mad Professor, Aswad, Misty in Roots, to UB40...well maybe not UB40...The greatest of them all is...

STEEL PULSE !!!

Community is Key

Concrete Jungle

I once was listening to the radio, and the DJ played Concrete Jungle over and over for his entire 2 hour set, and you know what, it was magical. So this post I will post Bob Marley's Concrete Jungle over and over and over simultaneously for 2 hours...No, I won't, but I will post some versions I'm feeling from the world wide web. I hope I inspire you to get out behind the wall, and get away from the concrete jungle that plagues your world to find your happiness. In one word, Positivity.

Live in 1979...



From British TV 1973...



The OG version....



In the studio....



Most popular version...



JR GONG Version...



And the sexy Céu of Brazil's version...




Honestly, is there anybody better then Bob? The man was blessed.

More Banton, More Countries! Panama!!!

Panama, Reggae, Yes, Yes, Yes!

Panamanian Banton, Yes, Yes, Yes!

KAFU BANTON!!!



A little more reggaeton than that of traditional reggae stylings, the reggaeton flavor is more popular in the Caribbean region then anywhere else. Makes for some good dance vibes, and endorphins popping, which equals, yup you guessed it, POSITIVITY!!!

Let's Go to the beach!



Speak Spanish? I guess the connection is explained here.



And then there's this guy...



Alright can't end the post on that guy, instead here is Ras Nini, who appears to be the head OG Rastas of the Panamanian reggae scene, who also appears in the reggae historical clip above. Pretty interesting Spanish version of a great Bob Marley track... Cheers to Panama!

Wailing Souls - Jah Give us Life

Classic track, great version, some would say a reggae masterpiece. Found this gem on a great reggae video youtube channel but some a guy named Justin in the UK. Thanks to him for this positive piece and enlightening others with the power of reggae music around the globe. For a great source for some great dub stylings check out www.youtube.com/wikidub

France and New Zealand

Bonjour, Add 2 more countries to the list, and welcome to the blogosphere of positivity France and New Zealand. I'm glad we've had viewers from France and New Zealand it allows me to spotlight some good things coming from those glorious lands. Mainly, sweet Reggae music.


Katchafire - New Zealand

New Zealands #1 Island Roots Reggae Band; Good vibes, positive healing.



And they do some mean Bob covers too



Fat Freddy's Drop- New Zealand

Fresh, Funky, Soulful, these guys offer a great vibe at their live shows, and a sexy sound on their recordings. These guys are stars on the world stage and it feeeeels sooooo gooood.....



And we segue to FRANCE with some Fat Freddy's on French TV....



I bet you didn't know France could get down to the Reggae Party! These guys are BROUSSAI, French Reggae band extraordinaire.

Uncensored

I know what you're thinking, Enrique Inglesis? Really, isn't he 90's, isn't he the son of Jose? Yes, and Yes. But tonight he's fucking you.



Feel Good about yourself, freedom of speech rocks, and for the heterosexual males even though you may not feel Enrique, you for sure will feel the group sex scene towards the end (~4:10) of the vid. Sex is positive.



Editors Note 1/24/11: Wow, that was fast, see how Censorship exists?

Buju Legend

Buju Banton and John Legend. Buju could use some positivity on his side.



1995 Buju...



Nothing positive like a champion!

The Royal Family

This one slipped by me on the previous Marley family post. This is a cool little mainstream pop-culture reggae explosion! Great positivity speech at the end of the video, I mean the Marley Bros., the sons of Bob, on Ryan Seacrest. That's positivity.

Winner

New Year, New Goals, Be a Winner.

Morally speaking, just because this video is posted on the greatest positivity blog out there, this video doesn't mean you should get into the drug game. This song bumps though.



10 years since 2001...

How bout these 2 Winners?



I know right?!?! Here's another masterpiece to get you fired up!



Bring back the Up In Smoke tour

Dub into the New Year
